5 - microHAM USB DEVICE ROUTER

ROUTER MENU

Default Router Settings:  used to completely reset Router to factory (default) settings. 

"Default" removes all device tabs and deletes all stored configuration data, including all user presets, 
from the Windows Registry.   

TIP:  CW KEYER can be reset to the factory configuration by selecting Default Router Settings  
followed by Device | Store as Power-up Settings to save the defaults to the keyer's memory. 

Restore Router Settings:  used to restore settings from a urs file created by the backup command.  

urs file can be used only with the device for which it was generated (the file contains the unit serial 
number) on a computer with same port assignments. 

WARNING: Restoring a backup replaces all current Router settings including presets, use it carefully! 

 

Backup Router Settings: used to create backup urs file. 

This file contains Router settings (including Presets) for all devices defined in Router.

Options | General 

- Load Router on Start-up: when checked, Router will start automatically each time the computer is

started or rebooted. 

- Start Router Minimized: when checked, Router will started minimized 

Options | Band Map: 

 

- Does not apply to CW Keyer -

 

Customizable band edge boundaries used to drive the band data output.  BCD codes can be 

customized for driving antenna switches or bandpass filter control.  This setting is not used with 
CW Keyer. 

Options | Digital Band Map:  

- Does not apply to CW Keyer - 

Customizable band boundaries for the digital mode operation.  These settings are used for the (optional)
automatic selection of audio switching and PTT mode based on operating frequency.  Careful selection 
of the "Digital band" is necessary for transceivers which do not have a special mode for AFSK operation 
or do not report the mode in the computer command set.  This primarily effects Kenwood and TenTec 
transceivers although it applies to some older Icom and Yaesu radios. 

Options | Audio Devices:  

- Does not apply to CW Keyer - 

- Don't use audio devices: when checked, Router does not use audio devices and the settings on the 

Audio Mixer and DVK tabs have no effect.

- Manually assign audio devices: when checked, Router will allow the user to select audio devices (sound 

card) in the appropriate fields at Audio Mixer tab and will actively control the audio devices

- Automatically assign microHAM audio devices: when checked, Router will automatically assign proper 

audio device of the same name if multiple microHAM interfaces of the same kind are connected to the 
one computer.  

Options | DVK: 

- Does not apply to CW Keyer - 

- Voice message time limit: maximum time for each voice message up to 120 seconds.
- Sample rate: sampling frequency used during recording and playback of voice messages.
- Sample size: sampling size used during recording of voice messages.  Sampling size primarily effects 

audio quality of the messages. 16bit samples provide higher quality than 8bit.

Options | USB:

- Noise immunity: selects how many times an undelivered USB packet will be repeated before the USB 

device is disconnected from the operating system. 

- Response time: selects how long the USB chip in a device will wait for additional data before sending  

data to the operating system.
